This is a simple single-zone burglar alarm circuit. Its features include
automatic Exit and Entry delays and a timed Bell/Siren Cut-Off. It's
designed to be used with the usual types of normally-closed input
devices such as - magnetic reed contacts - micro switches - foil tape -
and PIRs.
But it can be Easily Modified to accept normally-open triggering devices - such as pressure mats.

Notes:
It's easy to use. First check that the building is secure and that the
green LED is lit. Then move SW1 to the "set" position. The red LED will
light. You now have about 30 seconds to leave the building. When you
return and open the door - the Buzzer will sound. You then have about 30
seconds to move SW1 to the "off" position. If you fail to do so - the
relay will energize and the Siren will sound.
While at least one of the switches in the normally-closed loop remains
open - the Siren will continue to sound. However, about 15-minutes after
the loop has been restored - the relay will de-energize - the Siren
will Cut-Off - and the alarm will Reset. Of course, you can turn the
Siren off at any time by moving SW1 to the "off" position.
Because of manufacturing tolerances - the precise length of any delay
depends on the characteristics of the actual components you've used in
your circuit. But by altering the values of R3, R6 & R9 you can
adjust the Exit, Entry and Bell Cut-Off times to suit your requirements.
Increasing the values increases the time - and vice-versa.
